Its mostly stock had a performance profile cam put in and the ports have been polished just to give her a bit of jump. still running the stock carbs though. other than that every thing has been machined back to speck and the gear box has been overhauled

Looking GREAT. I'll say it again, usually dont like yellow busses, but this one, when done with the wheels as per your selecta pic, is going to be sweet. The colour somehow just works on your bay
